A mild base‐promoted reaction between 3‐substituted chromones and β ‐keto esters for the easy access to various coumarins with structural diversity is described. This protocol provides highly functionalized 3‐acyl‐4‐arylcoumarins in good‐to‐excellent yield via benzannulation and transesterification. A reaction mechanism containing Michael addition, 1,5‐H shift and intramolecular transesterification is proposed.
